Sunningdale to Windsor. 16/12/12.

Making use of the new East London Line extension to Clapham, today's walk is around 10 miles from Surrey into Berkshire.
Setting out in glorious sunshine, the walker soon leaves the station behind to enter Coworth Park, passing the famous polo fields. Then, it's into Windsor Great Park, via Virginia Water lakes and Valley Gardens. Lunch is had at the Obelisk Pond, though there is a cafe at Savill Gardens nearby.
Thereafter, it's up Rhododendron Ride to Cow Pond, and on to the Royal Lodge. Then, passing through gates into the Deer Park, there's a choice of paths for some fine views from the Copper Horse statue, though jet noise is now omni-present!
Following The Long Walk, now part of the Three Castles' Path, the walker reaches the gates of Windsor Castle in a downpour; rain hampers filming hereafter.
A pleasant enough walk, though a bit suburban and busy for this particular walker's tastes; it is a 'park walk', and that's exactly what you get.
